Explain how one "takes back" their labor when they have already been paid for it??? The fact they choose to work after the shop was suppossed to close doesnt obligate the owner to keep paying them. Its called at-will employment.
So the shop shut down. SO WHAT? If I buy a car from a company that goes under while my vehicle is still warranted--oh well, I made a mistake buying that commodity. If I sell my labor to a company that goes out of business--oh, well, I made a poor decision selling my labor to that company.
you should really read up on the recovered factory movement in argentina. the situation in the vast majority of instances involved employers who owed more money in unpaid wages to their employees than the assessed value of the factory. rather than just let the whole business collapse into a pile of dust and debt, the workers of said factories opted to occupy and produce while pursuing a negotiation with the government to basically trade the factory in lieu of unpaid wages.
